<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Last week I had a relative from Austrailia to stay, she was over in the UK following her two month tour around Europe.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The last time we'd met was about sixteen years ago, yet it strangely felt like we'd known each other forever.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have had so much fun introducing her to the places nearby, places I wouldn't change for the world and am so lucky to have on my doorstep. The weather has thankfully been beautiful (as you can see in the above picture) which always helps when trying to portray how stunning the area in which you reside really is!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I hope she enjoyed her weeks stay and I'm really excited for when I can get over to Austrailia and explore her world.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">To say the past month has been a bit of a whirlwind is an understatement, a very lovely whirlwind however. Huge apologies for the lack of content recently but fear not I am here, all forgiven? Good.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Ok so where to start, lets go back three and half weeks and get the bad, sad, worst update news out of the way. Freddie had a little accident, tripped on a toy and cutting right above his beautiful little eye, it was a mess - blood, tears, screaming, the lot so off we rushed to A&E. The staff, doctors and nurses were wonderful, I'm sure they deal with much worse on a daily basis but they made me feel at ease and Freddie not be in too much pain, he ended up having to have an operation under local anaesthetic to have a couple of stitches on the cut and clean the area, my heart broke when they had to put him under and I would not wish that upon anyone. If you have children that are poorly and have to under-go medical stuff frequently then you literally have all my sympathy and love in the world, you brave brave people! Thankfully everything went to plan and he was a lucky little boy that the toy landed above his eye and not 1cm lower. It hopefully should all heal up and barely leave a scar!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Sad update out of the way, lets go back four weeks. I received a call from my lovely dad informing me he had booked a little trip for himself, my mum, Freddie and I to visit my brother who lives in Austria. LOVELY SURPRISE, finding out we were leaving the following week, hectic! So three weeks ago (apologies for the all this week hopping that's going on) we flew over to Munich and travelled down to Austria for a five day break. It was so much fun - there's a blog post on the way! Freddie had a lovely time despite his poorly eye, I enjoyed being treated to a break and it was lovely to finally be able to check out the place my brother has been living!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Whilst we were away, I got another lovely but hectic surprise from my boyfriend. He decided to book a family holiday to Cyprus! Even though luckily we have been away every year since Freddie has been born, we've actually never been away just the three of us, so it was a lovely idea and surprise. We left five days after returning from Austria, I had just enough time to squeeze in a trip to the Trafford Centre, wash and re-pack everything up before we board a flight to sunny Paphos!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I feel extremely lucky that four weeks ago I had no plans to go abroad in 2014 and now I've barely been in the UK for more than 8 days! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So look forward to a blog post from my time in Austria and Cyprus, my rather late monthly favourites, along with a few others I had already planned before my globetrotting adventures took over!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Have you ever been surprised by a holiday or where would your dream destination be?</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Wow, I'm not really sure where this last month went but here are a few of my favourite iPhone photos I took throughout the month of May. I started the month celebrating my cousins eighteenth birthday, I felt rather old at her party but took a cute photo of my sister, Freddie and I. It was a lovely evening and great to catch up with all the family!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I've been really into my coffee this month, I've always been a coffee lover however since I discovered espresso macchiato it's becoming a slight obsession! The first picture was taken after enjoying a lovely wagamamas with my mum earlier this month and the second during my trip to Austria (separate blog post to come soon)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I've been trying to change my eating habits this month, making healthier choices and drinking more water. Below is a salad I made that I could easily eat every day, it consists of quinoa, avocado, olives, feta, beetroot and spinach - delicious! Whilst I've not yet cut out everything unhealthy I have noticed a big difference in myself, I feel full of energy throughout the day and I don't hate waking up at 8am anymore! I'm excited to see where this lifestyle will take me and the rewards it will bring - gotta start somewhere right!?</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I spent a lot of time with family this month so below are a small selection, the first was taken in a lift on a trip my mum and I took over to Leeds, (I blogged it <a href="http://pixieronn.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/proud-big-sister.html" target="_blank">here</a>) the second is my sister, Rachael and Freddie in their snuggly blankets by the wood burner, Freddie idolises my sister and they truly are best buddies! Bottom left is a little Starbucks drive through snap I took, I cut off my boyfriend as he's not really into the whole blogging thing - but he was there too, Freddie loves Starbucks, iced vanilla chai tea being his favourite drink although he's a fan of the frapps too! Bottom right is a picture I took when I arrived in Austria, we went over to visit my brother, who lives there but I'll do a post about that later this week!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Below are a couple of cute photo's of Freddie. The first was at The Trafford Centre, apparently he was the king of castle and I was the dirty rascal, I think it quite suits him, King Freddie! The next is his new backpack that I found in Marks & Spencers, I don't usually shop there for Freddie's clothes but I spotted it on my way through to the food section and just had to buy it, it has barely left his back since I gave it to him! A few nights ago I went in to tuck him in before I went to bed and found him surrounded by his teddies, just, argh, so cute! The last (bottom right) is how I found him when I went to pick him up from my parents last week, Freddie has my dad wrapped around his little finger and always manages to get an ice-cream from him.</span></div>

He is on the right batting - there's nothing more British summertime than an afternoon of pimms and cricket in the sunshine, here's to many more!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Earlier this week my I was invited to The Institute of Communication Studies at Leeds University for their End of Year Show, it was a chance for all final year students to show their short films on the big screen, one of those students being my little sister, Rachael. My sister is four years younger than me, so not only does it make me feel very proud she has completed her university degree but also very old. Before I went to the event we squeezed in time for a Wagamamas, I'm going through a bit of a health phase, summer is coming after all, so I just had to order the big green juice.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Leeds University is a beautiful campus, and The Institute of Communication Studies is located in possibly the most stunning part of the campus. If you're at the age where you're choosing universities then make sure you pay a visit here, It's such a cool city and amazing place to study!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I wasn't able to take many photo's in the event due to copyright but it was an amazing experience, I almost forgot that I was in a university and not at the cinema watching a film I'd paid to see. The film my sister worked on was called The Dealer, a beautifully shot mysterious story that left me wanting to know more and watch more. They had worked on location in Whitby and the effort they must have put in to be able to produce such quality exhausted me at the very thought! Another favourite of mine was called Pebble Moon, I cannot express how heart warming this was, it was a complete contrast to The Dealer and told a story of a young girl who had two dads, amazing funny yet touching story, one that could easily be made into a TV drama or film.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I was so impressed with the high standard of these short films, I'm sure there is big things to come from the 2014 graduates from The Institute of Communication Studies at Leeds University! I'm so proud of what my sister has achieved after three years of hard work, it definitely paid off in her final piece of work, I just can't quite believe my baby sister is now a graduate!</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">No this isn't a post about the one direction song, although I am now singing that to myself whilst typing! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This morning my mum called, she told me to drop Freddie at her house and to go shopping for some summer clothes, as if the offer wasn't already amazing, she then gave me some money to treat myself. Now to those that don't have children this may not seem like a massive deal but if you have then you won't need me to tell you this was such a lovely little </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">gesture, a whole afternoon to myself, for myself - bliss!</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I never usually spend money on myself, only if I'm forced into buying something due to my clothes falling apart. I'd rather buy Freddie something new or treat my partner who works so hard to look after us, I felt a little overwhelmed as where to start - although as you can imagine that didn't last long. My summer wardrobe has had a much needed update and I even had time to enjoy a late lunch and a cheeky cocktail in the sun whilst people watching before heading home!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">To my mum this was such a little thing to do, to me it was one of the kindest and most thoughtful things. Have you ever done something like this for someone, or better still has anyone done this for you, I'd love to know in the comments!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I've never done one of these monthly favourite types of posts before, mainly because it always seemed more of an appropriate post for beauty bloggers to do, however, I'm going to give it a whirl and hope for the best..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> So here we go.. Here's my April favourites..</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">1. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have used the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.elizabetharden.co.uk/product/111/Eight-Hourreg-Cream-Skin-Protectant/" target="_blank">Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour </a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">eight hour cream for many years and it's fantastic, so when my mum bought me the Eight Hour </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.elizabetharden.co.uk/product/117/Eight-Hourreg-Cream-Intensive-Daily-Moisturizer-for-Face-SPF-15-PA/" target="_blank">Intensive Daily Moisturiser</a> for face </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">earlier this month I was really excited to try it out. It leaves my skin feeling so soft and moisturised without feeling shiny or sticky, I suffer from dry skin but this is just the right consistency to not leave me feeling like I need to moisturise throughout the day, unlike my previous moisturiser. It also has SPF 15 which has come in handy with the warm weather we've luckily experienced this month!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2. I'm a big coffee fan so when I came across <a href="http://www.starbucksstore.com/starbucks-via-ready-brew-colombia/011009769,default,pd.html" target="_blank">Starbucks VIA</a> whilst doing my weekly food shop I knew these were going to be my new love! I'm the only one in my house that regularly drinks coffee and my mornings are pretty hectic as it is, so grinding up fresh beans and brewing up a cafetiere each morning is a dream that's probably never going to happen - it makes the Starbucks VIA so perfect for my busy mornings! I've so far only tried the Columbia blend, but next time I'm in my local Starbucks i'm going to see what other blends they have and stock up! It's also rather handy to take with me to the office or when I'm visiting my tea loving friends!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">3. I was in The White Company a couple of weeks ago stocking up on some pyjamas for Freddie, when I remembered I needed to get some new perfume. I thought since I adore their scented candles etc why not see what their perfume is like and OH MY, my nose went to actual smell heaven! After eventually making a very tough decision, I went with the <a href="http://www.thewhitecompany.com/candles-and-fragrance/bath-and-body/noir-eau-de-toilette--100ml/" target="_blank">NOIR</a> (Amber, Mandarin and Orchid) Eau De Toilette, I literally could have bought every single fragrance but somehow stopped myself. I'm almost excited for when this runs out and I get to choose another, I've been obsessed with The White Company for a long time but this has further fuelled that obsession!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">4. I've loved the TV show New Girl since it came on our screens a couple of years ago, but I'm so rubbish at remembering when things are on TV and always end up missing episodes. This month my boyfriend and I have </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">been catching up with the programme online, we've had to stop ourselves from pulling all nighters so we can watch every episode consecutively! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I've become a BIG fan, I want to be Jess, my boyfriend wants to be Schmitt and we find ourselves crying with laughter at least a couple of times each episode, It's just SO good and totally our sense of humour! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">5. For my final monthly favourite I thought I'd link you to whichever blog I've been loving throughout the month, through YouTube I found <a href="http://www.mrbenbrown.com/" target="_blank">Ben Brown</a>, I'm a massive fan of his <a href="http://www.youtube.com/benbrown100" target="_blank">daily vlogs</a> - in fact I think he's the only 'youtuber' I watch consistently. I found my way through to his website and blog which really is beautiful. The photography on his posts is stunning and I'm beyond obsessed with his <a href="http://8tracks.com/mrbenbrown/march-2014" target="_blank">monthly playlists</a>; it's the first thing I do when I open up my laptop to begin blogging, so in fact I guess you could say he is the reason I've become a better blogger, all I needed was a great soundtrack! He is one inspiring and talented guy, I'm sure you've all probably heard of Ben but if you haven't go and check him out!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Easter fun *apologies for lack of Easter post but I just didn't get round to putting it all together and then it got toooo late and I was just way over it by then* I found this giant hot cross bun (below, left) at our local deli, it was amazing toasted with butter - you can't really tell how big it is from this photo but it was the size of a loaf of bread! Our table on Easter morning, (below) Freddie's face was priceless!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> I don't think I've mentioned this on my blog yet, but I'm a big football fan. I support my local team, Burnley, who against all odds won automatic promotion to the Premier League this month. This was the amazing scene (below, left) following the final whistle on Easter Monday, it was such a proud and overwhelming day for me and one I was beyond happy to have shared with my dad and brother (who flew home to be there). We then obviously celebrated with champagne at a local bar (below, right). I love the way football connects people from every aspect and way of life, whilst I understand why many people aren't into it (think footballers are over paid etc) for me it's how I've been brought up and I wouldn't have it any other way - It's a big and important part of my life.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">These are a couple of things I've consumed and loved this month, my dad made my day a couple of weeks ago with a cute little ice-cream delivery. (below, top right) I've hidden it deep in the freezer away from any ice-cream loving little three year olds. Freddie and I have made Easter nests (bottom, right) all throughout this month, so easy to do and amazing to enjoy with a cup of tea for a mid afternoon treat! I put the ice-cream to good use one evening and made cookie ice-cream sandwiches (below, bottom centre) which were amazing! </span></div>

The photo below was taken in a little place called Ilkley, which is near Leeds, I'm going to return there soon to do a little blog post as it's lovely and I felt my iPhone camera wouldn't do it the justice it deserves!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Since it was such a lovely sunny afternoon, Freddie and I decided to take a little drive over to a local park to have a little walk around and get an ice-cream.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For months now I've been wanting to visit a little nature reserve close to where I live called Brockholes but the weather just hasn't been on my side, however finally spring has sprung and I got to see for myself what the all fuss was all about on a little afternoon outing with my mum and Freddie. (I also just want to apologise now for far too many photos but they're all so cute and I couldn't resist!)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love the use of rusting metal and wood for the welcome signs. Once my eyes set upon this view it took me, oh I don't know.. about 3 seconds to completely fall in love with this place.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">How cute is that little birdy doorstop, I want one for my home! After exploring a little we stopped by the restaurant to get a coffee, cake and an ice-cream for Freddie. He obviously wanted the blue one, which was blue banana and absolutely delicious!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As we made our way over to the children's play area we found a telescope that Freddie had to try out, on our next visit I'm going to bring his binoculars!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I loved the contrast between the wood tiles on the roofs of the buildings against the blue sky, each building is so beautiful.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I fell in love with Brockholes as soon as my eyes set upon it's tranquil waters and calm surroundings. I cannot wait to get back and explore some of the trails this summer, after just one visit it has become my favourite local attraction - again sorry for getting carried away with all the photos but as they say a picture can say a thousand words!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Earlier this evening, after sitting down for the sixth time to get my work done, I decided to get out of the house and see if that helped my productivity, it's amazing what a flat white and some space can help you achieve, I think Starbucks may become my new office! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm currently sat typing this blog post feeling very full, very sickly and very ready to take on the next forty(or so) days with some healthy choices! </span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Yes, whilst pancake day (also known as Shrove Tuesday here in the UK) is the day you can eat pancakes filled with chocolate for breakfast, lunch and dinner without fear of being judged, it also symbolises the start of Lent!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Many give up chocolate, meat, bread etc. for Lent however I've decided to give up unhealthy choices, be it chocolate, sweets or skipping a gym class. It's going to be tough but I'm hoping the spring-like weather that has arrived will help me feel inspired!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Friday night a few years ago would mean meeting friends after a long week at work, drinking many cocktails and eventually leaving some club at 4 in the morning searching for a fix of carbs that I'd ultimately regret the next day (along with the copious amounts of cocktails) however, nowadays it consists of being snuggled up with Freddie and his daddy watching a Disney film, chatting about our week, eating treats (current obsession is homemade popcorn drizzled in hot fudge caramel) and making plans for the next couple of days.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It dawned on me tonight, when I received a message from some of my (childless) friends saying how much they missed our Friday nights together, that whilst I love my friends dearly and wouldn't trade them for anyone or anything in the world, I definitely didn't miss those nights and I'm so content with my life right now!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As i've previously mentioned on my blog my two close friends live in London so whenever I manage to find a cheap train ticket I pop down to have a catch up - because no matter how often you Facetime or Skype someone there's nothing like a real life catch up!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I immediately made my way over to Covent Garden after arriving at Euston and met up with my friend Sarah at The Shake Shack, now if you have never heard of this place let me let you in on a little secret. I had my first Shake Shack experience over in New York City a few years ago and I instantly fell in love - when I found out they'd opened one in the UK I was beyond excited and it certainly didn't disappoint! I went for the classic Shack burger, cheese fries & a sticky toffee frozen custard, it was a gorgeous evening and a perfect way to spend an hour catching up under the heater lamps!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">After we'd fought our way through the market and browsed in the little boutique and vintage shops - where I managed to pick up a little present for Freddie - we took a short walk over to the V&A Museum of Childhood. Now I'm no museum or exhibition expert but my friend Sarah is, I knew little about this place but it's one of the favourite things I've done in London. The afternoon was full of nostalgia and insight into the past, I need to bring Freddie back here on my next visit - he will absolutely love it!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I've been waiting to share a little bit of news with you all and finally I can, the very talented London based artist <a href="http://www.samuelturnerportraits.com/" target="_blank">Samuel Turner</a> got in touch with me last year to ask if he could use Freddie in his next painting. Sam is an amazing artist and a close colleague of one of my best friends so it took me seconds to make my mind up, we travelled down to London late last year and did a photo-shoot from which Sam went and created his painting, the painting is about cupid taming a tiger. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It's a beautiful piece of art, so detailed and such a perfect portrait of Freddie. It wasn't easy getting the right photos as he was very lively (aren't all three year olds) but the painting is amazing! I really hope Freddie will be proud to have been a part of Sam's work in years to come but for now he is quite scared the tiger will eat him but extremely happy that he has wings - a three year olds view on art!</span></div>

Whilst the weather was windy and rather cold, the sun was still shining and we had a lovely afternoon walking along the sea front - It was a bit of a change from our usual haunt of St.Annes located about five minutes away, which has a pier and more of an old school sixties 'holiday destination' vibe. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This year I decided that I would explore the west coast a little more and try to find different beaches or sea fronts that are less populated. Today only made me want to explore the coast further, so if any of you readers have a favourite place to visit in Lancashire, do let me know! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am praying that we get a repeat of last years glorious summer so that I can use my hidden beach findings to their full potential!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Lytham boasts a brilliant stretch of grass that runs parallel to the sea front - a handy alternative to sand, especially on such a windy day! We also found a few daisy's - even though it is the middle of winter, which Freddie enjoyed picking and handing out to everyone!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Freddie loves going to the seaside and I would one day love to have a home that overlooked the water, it'd be so amazing to set out of your door straight on to the beach - insanely jealous if any of you currently live with that luxury! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I do hope you're enjoying these little adventure posts, I certainly enjoy writing about them and sharing them with you - I do have to apologise for the poor quality photos however - I completely forgot to charge my camera and so I had to make do with my iPhone *must be more organised*</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Late last year my very talented friend Alex was asked to play a live set for BBC introducing through Radio Lancashire, for those of you reading that aren't from the UK, BBC introducing is a platform for unsigned and emerging new talent to showcase their songs on local and national radio - so a pretty big deal!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Alex asked if i'd give him a hand filming, which of course I didn't mind and we finally got round to editing the video! It's up now on his YouTube channel so please please please go and watch it, subscribe if you enjoy and hit that thumbs up button.. There's more to come from his BBC introducing session so make you check back for those too!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm really proud of this as he's had over 1000 views in just over a week and many a famous folk have commented saying how much they love his work including my personal fav being Danny from McFly - fangirl moment right there!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I really hope Alex gets all the success he deserves in the future as he's one seriously talented guy, the start of big things..</span></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Fortunately it only takes a mere two and a teeny bit hours to get to London on the train from my nearest stop which is brilliant when travelling with kids and since the nice guys at Virgin let under 5's travel free it's brilliant for the purse too!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Whilst the weather was rather cold on our last visit, we still managed to fill our visit with lots of fun! It was lovely to catch up with our friends and them to spend time with Freddie!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We met with friends at The Rainforest Cafe which was amazing, it was my first visit and whilst the food wasn't anything to rave about, the surrounds defiantly made up for it. I'd recommend it if you've got young children but be warned it's not the cheapest place to eat and the food isn't anything extraordinary unlike the experience!</span></div>

The following day we made our way over to Greenwich and took a return Emirates line trip over the Thames, since it was midweek it was rather quiet and we didn't need to queue also we got our own pod between four of us! </div>

I would recommend this to anyone it was a great and different way to see the sights and skyline of the city! We then wandered down to the riverside, under the brightly lit walkway and hopped on a boat back to central London, which again was a great way to see the sights!</div>

It all goes back to the early 1600's when a man named Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up parliament, luckily his plan failed and people lit bonfires to celebrate. So even today people still celebrate by lighting bonfires and fireworks!</div><div><br></div><div><3 </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3J0I74jRiY8/UnqR8EA0V4I/AAAAAAAAAOM/rken9Jj10vI/s640/blogger-image--1779647558.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3J0I74jRiY8/UnqR8EA0V4I/AAAAAAAAAOM/rken9Jj10vI/s640/blogger-image--1779647558.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-cQYercGXHOI/UnqR7JBQHjI/AAAAAAAAAOE/o2VCnj_wjd8/s640/blogger-image--633783994.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-cQYercGXHOI/UnqR7JBQHjI/AAAAAAAAAOE/o2VCnj_wjd8/s640/blogger-image--633783994.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-MuvdUDHfh4g/UnqR9OiUwMI/AAAAAAAAAOU/3ljDP7G1sJ8/s640/blogger-image--754129353.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-MuvdUDHfh4g/UnqR9OiUwMI/AAAAAAAAAOU/3ljDP7G1sJ8/s640/blogger-image--754129353.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17117203258582842650noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3643944618031712619.post-55395825640382739202013-11-05T18:54:00.001+00:002013-11-05T18:54:13.722+00:00FUNDAY MONDAY!<div>Freddie & I decided to spend our Monday bowling!</div><div><br></div><div>I've never taken him bowling before and I was a bit unsure if he would enjoy it but I had no reason to be as we had lots of fun and I'll definitely be taking Freddie again!</div><div><br></div><div>The bowling centre had a big amusement arcade so whilst we waited for a lane to come free we spent time collecting tickets to win prizes and using the photo booth!</div><div><br></div><div>A really fun afternoon and one I'd recommend!</div><div><br></div><div><3</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-GCMutA5HB78/Unk-1JrWOnI/AAAAAAAAAN0/h1sjOODBviA/s640/blogger-image--955223579.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-GCMutA5HB78/Unk-1JrWOnI/AAAAAAAAAN0/h1sjOODBviA/s640/blogger-image--955223579.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-s2xqk9wic48/Unk-ymOvasI/AAAAAAAAANk/9vp5LmnIL2M/s640/blogger-image-2112685256.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-s2xqk9wic48/Unk-ymOvasI/AAAAAAAAANk/9vp5LmnIL2M/s640/blogger-image-2112685256.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-22_nvapWjOs/Unk-z9MFC6I/AAAAAAAAANs/AebnPo_HhzA/s640/blogger-image--266225832.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-22_nvapWjOs/Unk-z9MFC6I/AAAAAAAAANs/AebnPo_HhzA/s640/blogger-image--266225832.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17117203258582842650noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3643944618031712619.post-21151907718922965052013-10-31T16:04:00.001+00:002013-11-04T23:17:57.523+00:00My month | iPhone pics | October 2013Each month I thought it'd be nice to share with you all a few of my favourite iPhone pics!<div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Bc4CwDQVk_4/UnJ_hQhl5II/AAAAAAAAANE/BxANQSAflG8/s640/blogger-image-319712878.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Bc4CwDQVk_4/UnJ_hQhl5II/AAAAAAAAANE/BxANQSAflG8/s640/blogger-image-319712878.jpg"></a></div><div>Training with Burnley FC for the day</div></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-7JtnIxK9HCI/UnJ_c2gfp5I/AAAAAAAAAMc/lZKL21m6hJM/s640/blogger-image-186062420.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-7JtnIxK9HCI/UnJ_c2gfp5I/AAAAAAAAAMc/lZKL21m6hJM/s640/blogger-image-186062420.jpg"></a></div></div>Starbucks date with Freddie..

They were super fun and easy to make, Freddie wasn't too interested when it came to decorating but he enjoyed measuring, mixing and baking! We used biscuit cutters from Sainsbury's which we'll keep for years to come! We also had to hand cut an F and H for Freddie and his friend Harry with the left over dough.</div><div><br></div><div>I've included our recipe below & be sure to link me in the comments if you try these too!</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-jKtfOgDOfR4/UnJ0imiJMxI/AAAAAAAAAL8/CSWWOlx0dqI/s640/blogger-image-78090772.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-jKtfOgDOfR4/UnJ0imiJMxI/AAAAAAAAAL8/CSWWOlx0dqI/s640/blogger-image-78090772.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-pY834xh31-U/UnJ0gVpEtMI/AAAAAAAAAL0/FAzUMaRP79o/s640/blogger-image-1535795809.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-pY834xh31-U/UnJ0gVpEtMI/AAAAAAAAAL0/FAzUMaRP79o/s640/blogger-image-1535795809.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-x6hxwQNKQtU/UnJ0cMqfyBI/AAAAAAAAALc/nv-3Muby1_Q/s640/blogger-image--1360344972.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-x6hxwQNKQtU/UnJ0cMqfyBI/AAAAAAAAALc/nv-3Muby1_Q/s640/blogger-image--1360344972.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3lTNXvYSYwc/UnJ0kRdiYSI/AAAAAAAAAME/uaotPxCgKts/s640/blogger-image--638382894.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3lTNXvYSYwc/UnJ0kRdiYSI/AAAAAAAAAME/uaotPxCgKts/s640/blogger-image--638382894.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-XRlEn7OLB-U/UnJ0e-fodFI/AAAAAAAAALs/lJ-CZ6FteL4/s640/blogger-image--1047560302.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-XRlEn7OLB-U/UnJ0e-fodFI/AAAAAAAAALs/lJ-CZ6FteL4/s640/blogger-image--1047560302.jpg"></a></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-SnMbzNwYiOA/UnJ0dja8nnI/AAAAAAAAALk/Vs_ZjGz-LnM/s640/blogger-image--1422601498.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-SnMbzNwYiOA/UnJ0dja8nnI/AAAAAAAAALk/Vs_ZjGz-LnM/s640/blogger-image--1422601498.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><3</div><div><br></div><div><b>Our Halloween Biscuits!</b></div><div><br></div><div>You'll need:</div><div><ul class="unstyled" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; list-style: none; "><li class="" itemprop="ingredients" style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 6px 10px; "><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">250g softened butter</span></li><li class="" itemprop="ingredients" style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 6px 10px; "><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">140g caster sugar</span></li><li class="" itemprop="ingredients" style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 6px 10px; "><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">1 egg yolk</span></li><li class="" itemprop="ingredients" style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 6px 10px; "><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">2 tsp vanilla extract</span></li><li class="" itemprop="ingredients" style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 6px 10px; margin-bottom: 0px !important; "><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">300g plain flour</span></li></ul><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br></span></div></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">In a large bowl mix the softened butter and caster sugar together using a wooden spoon, add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Sift over the flour and mix until combined. It's then best to use your hands to press the mixture together into a ball shape, wrap in cling film and pop in the fridge for half an hour to cool. After half an hour flour you surfaces and rolling pin, about 3cm thickness is what you're after. Use your biscuit cutters, place cut out shapes onto a lined baking tray and bake for about 12/15mins in a pre heated oven at 160c. Allow biscuits to cool before decorating!</span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17117203258582842650noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3643944618031712619.post-23451108104465903062013-10-22T00:52:00.001+01:002013-10-22T00:55:00.832+01:00FUNDAY MONDAY!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">WELCOME TO THE FIRST FUNDAY MONDAY!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So, what is Funday Monday? well, simply put - i'm going to share with you my 'Funday Monday' activities and adventures every week!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm very lucky that I always have Mondays off from work, I usually spend it having quality time with Freddie. I</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">t's easy to use the time doing jobs or catching up on emails but recently i've got really good at putting away my laptop and just concentrating on having fun with Freddie, which is a whole lot more fun and definitely more important than any email i'll ever receive!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Today we visited the Sea Life Centre at Manchester, Freddie loves Finding Nemo so I thought it'd be a great idea to go and see if we could find Dori & Nemo! I booked the tickets online which saved some money (£12 per adult, children under 3 are free) it was so easy and hassle free plus it enables you to skip the queue at busy times, which is very handy when you have an excited two year old! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It doesn't take too long to go through the centre but there are feed times and talks throughout the day so i'd definitely recommend checking the website and planning your visit around these! </span><br />
